Futuristic Fate of the Stars of Life (EPISODE 4: Formic Apocalypse)

"Do not worry. The tenents will provide us with complimentary spacesuits so you can survive the oxygenless atmosphere, under the assumption that one or two of you are not already wearing a suit."

Bowe chuckled. "Sounds like fun!" She said mindlessly. Kokoro scoffed a little bit. "I 'would' assume living 'is' a good idea, so... yeah." She said. Out of Kokoro, Hamele and Bowe, only Hamele was wearing one - whereas Kokoro doesn't need one because she doesn't need oxygen at all. Bowe on the other hand is probably going to need one.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia shook her head, and shrugged. She needed oxygen, just not as much as the others who did. Besides, she had implants in the suit that forced oxygen directly into her blood stream. Advanced tech was great. Plus, she had an oxygen mask built directly into the suit if she ran out of the blood O2. It’s was fine. Probably.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

The crew then start to reach for the entrance of the lab. "[Any of your crewmembers need spacesuits?]" One of the soldiers asked Ma'arz, who, in response, looks at his crewmembers to see if one or two of them are not wearing oxygen suits. "[The Vagrok and the little Human might need suits.]" Ma'arz informs the soldiers. Nodding in acknowledgment, one of the soldiers pulled out a cellular device and begins to inform another official that they need spacesuits for the few who aren't wearing one.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux was quite excited to go into their lab. With their advanced tools and materials, he could make his mask minimal, and yet magnificent. It would be a little heavier, yes. But it would be more durable then a foot of steel. With the tech, he could make visors that let him see through spectrums of light, infrared, thermal, the whole thing. Even a text screen on his mouth so people can read what he wants to say/write without the notepad.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia was balancing on her feet, and a question burned in her mind. Unable to keep it in, she turned to Ma’arz and asked;

“So, are there any Quantum Theorists here? Or mathematicians?” She tried to play it cool, like she didn’t really care, but honestly she was so excited for this.

 

[BoltBeam]

Bowe would stay with Kokoro and Hamele, not speaking up. None of them were, for now, as a matter of fact. Kokoro was taking in the surroundings, Bowe was to be waiting for that spacesuit, and Hamele is just trying to contain her excitement.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux looked at Talia, wondering why she wanted to know if there was a Quantum Theorist or Mathematician. He knew a little bit in both, but he wanted to know why.

[Meme Machine]

Tali’s saw Lux look at her, and gave him a blank stare. “What?” She asked, shrugging slightly.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He put all the weight on his back, and used one hand to write,

Why do you want to know if they have Mathematician or Quantum Theorist?

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia looked at the note and her eyes widened. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to tell him why or not, but she knew she need to respect the promise they made.

“I guess I just wanted to see if there were any new achievements in the subjects. I haven’t exactly been able to keep up.” She admitted, shrugging slightly.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

“So, are there any Quantum Theorists here? Or mathematicians?” She tried to play it cool like she didn’t really care, but honestly, she was so excited about this.

When asked that, Ma'arz just stared at the Lunarim. He understood if she was just curious about it, but the thought of Martian laboratory NOT having quantum theorists and mathematicians is preposterous! "Do mammals have teeth?" Ma'arz answers back with a rhetorical question.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia grinned like a madman, and nodded. “Awesome....” She whispered, while tapping her finger against her leg impatiently. She studied that type of stuff as a kid, but some was forgot over time. It would be nice to have a refresher.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

The crew eventually made it to the front entrance of the Martian lab, where they are met with two additional soldiers holding appropriately colored and sized spacesuits. "[The spacesuits, as you requested.]" The soldiers said as they hold them out for Kqidons and Bowe to take and wear, in which they expectedly do. "Everyone here ready?" Susan asked as she pressed on a button on her spacesuit, where it created an oxygen helmet for her to breath once she enters the lab.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia held back a smile, and nodded. "Yes." Was all she said, whether they heard her or not.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux set the box down, turned away from everyone, took off his temporary mask and quickly put on his helmet. He put the mask in the crate, resealed it, picked it back up, and nodded his affirmative that he’s ready.

 

[BoltBeam]

Bowe nodded, now in the spacesuit given to her. "Yeah! Let's go!" She said excitedly.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

Susan nods and, once the soldiers got out of their way, gestures the crew to enter the gate leading to the lab. When the gate opened up, it leads to a relatively small depressurization room. Once the rest of the crew got in, the gateway closes and the intercom beeps. "Depressurizing in T-Minus 10 seconds. Please make sure your oxygen masks are tightly secured onto your suit." The intercom warns as it makes a beep for every second passed. Once 10 seconds are up, the room depressurizes, removing all of the oxygen and presumably replacing it with nitrogen.

 

[BoltBeam]

Bowe and Hamele would make sure they did so - though Hamele helped with Bowe's before she dealt with her own, just to be sure. Thankfully, it was done in time, before the oxygen was removed from the room.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux didn’t even move during the depressurization, sure that he already put his suit on correctly, and wouldn’t suffocate from lack of oxygen. He was correct, and waited for the lab doors to open.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia had placed her mask on just in case, but otherwise was ready to go. She bounced up and down, excited as ever.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

Finally, the other gateway opens, revealing the interior and, presumably, hub area of the Martian laboratory, with Martian scientists either on their computers doing research reports or walking to other testing sites of the area. As the crew walks in, Ma'arz unlocks his glass helmet, releasing pressurized air in the process, takes it off, and takes a deep breath of the nitrogen air around him. "Sniff... Ahhhh... Sweet, fresh nitrogen..." Ma'arz said to himself in relief before turning to the crew with a smug look. "Now you all know what it feels like being confined to a suit like I did." He said.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia didn’t even hear Ma’arz, she was so focused. She watched in amazement and took in about every single detail in the lab. “Oh my lord...... this is amazing!!”

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux didn’t even acknowledge what he said, and like Talia, was looking around. Enjoying the entire lab and it’s contents, Lux was already looking at tools to make his mask.

 

[BoltBeam]

Hamele was looking around in amazement as well. "Wooow... This is... Aaawesome!" She said, managing a little laugh of enthusiastic sounds. Bowe was also in awe, looking around speechlessly. Kokoro? Silent, not looking as much.
